[Currency ?] What does "Crossed Pistols Icon" Currency Icon MEAN?

I just don't understand how to earn the currency icon labeled "Crossed Pistols". It's the last one on far right, above my mouse cursor in this screenshot.

I went through the Help tab glossary and couldn't find any reference that seemed to match it.

I thought maybe it meant defeating your Zombie on a failed boss battle, but I did that just now and earned no currency at all.

Maybe it just means escaping in the pod? I just have never been able to earn it, and it's necessary for some things, including later tabs in the passive abilities upgrades screen.

They are called "souvenirs", you get those by defeating a Rival either in direct combat or via remote attacks (the button press mini-game). You can also get them via the currency exchange for 50 keycodes.

Thanks! I wondered what the currency exchange was good for.

Your're welcome. I was also wondering what that currency was when I started. It also took me a while to figure out that the blue hand on the top right was my GRP charges :)

That's super clutch to know. Thanks.

By chance, do you know if the "Boss currency" (unsure what its called, the skull currency you get for defeating the bosses) is only used for unlocking new pages and slots? (I want to buy a new slot, just unsure if I should save for anything else since Im on page 2).

They are also used for weapon upgrades once you unlock them, but it's not worth saving them for that. Because once you are able to upgrade the weapons, you unlock a way to get more of them too.

One thing I missed out on at first, is that how you get them before that point, is linked to weapons. The 4 skulls on weapons is skulls you receive for boss 1-4 with that weapon equipped. So you gain more my using different weapons to beat bosses. To a maximum of 4 per weapon. (Until you unlock the other way to gain it)

So if you kill 2 bosses with a weapon, you will not gain any more with the same weapon on other runs before you kill boss number 3 (the orange machine thing)

I think it's to get people to try to beat bosses with different weapons and not just use the same weapons all the time.

When you don't gain the skull, you gain the other currency instead, so of thats the one you need more of, maybe use weapons you have already used.

That may have been explained but I missed it at first.
